Two remarks:
1) Israel... Hmmm
2) Fortunately, NOT all European countries do participate in the Eurovision Song Contest
What about Austria, for example? Could Europe be Europe without Austria??
Not to mention Italy (Europe without Renaissance, Vatican, espresso, pizza & gelato??? Oh noooo).
And last but not least, half of the European money is missing: Luxembourg and Liechtenstein...
